Featured Game Week 2 - NY Giants At Indianapolis Colts

     The battle of the Mannings, this is a bigger game for the Colts given their opening day loss to the Texans. They don't want to start 0-2 especially after the Texans pulled out the overtime win at the Redskins.

Note our new formatting doesn't show any color until after the first score.

Real nice PossessionPoints drive by the Colts to open the game. A 6 minute + touchdown drive worth 47 PossessionPoints. Before the game we said on our  "BlogTalkRadio" show that we wouldn't be surprised by a Green-Green shootout, this one is starting that way.

Another fine PossessionPoints drive by the Colts has them in the "yellow" already, they are only 18 away from Green. If however, this is to become a "Green-Green" shootout, Eli and the Giants need to get moving.

Well, the Colts just turned green. That puts them in the 75% chance of winning. Many of the 25% come when there is a "Green-Green" shootout. The Giants need to change their offensive and defensive strategies if they want to make this a game. Needless to say what they have been doing so far isn't working.

Well the Giants get on the board. Credit Eli with courage standing in and making a big time throw. Most likely too little too late, but we will see. The Giants defense has to now show that it figured something out at halftime.

Colt defense puts a score on the board with a sack, fumble recovery for a TD.

Well, the Colts have extinguished any hope the Giants had with a 4 minute plus touchdown drive. We said when the Colts turned Green in the first half that it was a 75% chance they would win.

Giants get a gift TD, since they only took 6 seconds it was virtually worthless in PossessionPoints also.

If you hung in there until the end, we are guessing you are not a Giants fan. There wasn't much to cheer for if you were a Giants fan. This one was over in the first half.
